“I had it next to the bed for a week, filled it twice over, and never once noticed the handles digging in when I dragged it down the hall.”
The Ethel is the basket our customers buy when they have quietly given up on plastic bins that scuff the floor and tip over the moment you look away.
Crafted from a soft, structured cotton-poly blend with a quilted texture and all-round pattern placement, the Ethel basket stands upright on its own and folds flat when not in use. The durable canvas handles sit neatly at the top for easy carrying, and the seamless wraparound print means it looks lovely from any angle. Tuck it beside the bed, in the bathroom or out in the laundry — it does the job without shouting about it.
Why women keep coming back for it
- It stands up on its own. Even when empty, the basket keeps its shape and stays put, so the hallway never has that slumping, half-tipped look.
- The pattern goes all the way around. The artwork wraps the entire basket, so whichever side faces out still looks considered.
- It folds away when you don't need it. The soft quilted fabric flattens for storage in a drawer or on a shelf between washes.
- It carries properly. The canvas handles are stitched through the rim, so a full basket doesn't drag or dig into your hand.
Why the price is what it is
A$74.95 for a piece you will actually keep reaching for, when it normally sells for A$149.95, is frankly on the suspicious side. Most of our customers ask. So here is the honest comparison, written on the back of a notepad in our office.
| Pottery Barn patterned laundry basket | A$189.00 |
| Eileen Fisher organic storage basket | A$180.00 |
| Bruny Boutique Ethel | A$74.95 |
We have been doing this for 22 years, and this sale is the only time of year we let go of these prices. Once a colour is gone for the season, it is gone until next year.
How it fits
Generously sized as marked; the cotton-poly blend holds its shape wash after wash. Order the size that suits the room — Small for bathrooms, Medium for bedrooms, Large for family loads. Available in Small, Medium, Large.
No questions, 30-day returns
If it does not earn a place in your closet, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee, no questions. We would rather it went to someone who will wear it.
A few of the recent reviews
“I keep mine in the bathroom and it sits there looking pretty without tipping over, which is more than I ever got from the plastic ones.” — Margaret, 67
“The pattern is on every side, so it doesn't matter which way it faces the door. I noticed that straight away.” — Helen, 58
“It folds flat under the linen press when the family has left, and pops back up the moment we need it again.” — Patricia, 71

Born from the warmth of Bruny Island
Some places just stay with you.
For me, it was Bruny Island. The way the morning light hits the water at Adventure Bay, shoes off, salt air, nowhere to be. A place where you remember what really matters.
I started Bruny Boutique because I wanted to bring that feeling home. Pieces that move with you. That feel as good as they look. Chosen with care for women who've earned the right to dress exactly how they please.
No chasing trends. No uncomfortable fits. Just timeless, beautiful clothing that makes you feel like yourself, on your best days.
Here's to dressing for the life you love. 💙
With love, Robyn

New favourite
I'll be honest, I almost didn't order because I wasn't sure these styles were for women my age. I was so wrong. Everything fits beautifully, the quality is excellent, and I've already had compliments. This is my new favourite boutique

Sceptical at first
Sceptical at first with online purchases. But absolutely stunning dresses and clothes. Not the cheapest but they are worth it.
Bonnie Sheridan
Love, love, love
Love, love, love that vibrant blue! Perfect for a mother-daughter day out in Battery Point. So easy to throw on but you still look totally put together. Highly recommend for any woman looking to add a little colour to her wardrobe!
Denise Thornbury
My go-to boutique
This store has the best dresses, a lovely website, great customer service and payment options and they always have the best prices around. I'm down in Hobart, but I'll order from here over the boutiques close by every time.
